1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

👀🎯📣The violent criminal Donald J. Trump is overdue for a harsh accounting and justice.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

NEW: TX U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s new ad blasts Ken Paxton’s “crackdown on voters of color.” It features a Black woman prosecuted for voting when she mistakenly believed she was eligible. The charges came amid Paxton's push to stoke fears of illegal voting. https://demdock.com/4yGEy6s

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

“DOJ documents indicate that, in 2019, FBI interviewed a Jane Doe who came forward to allege abuse in SC in 1983. Initially, a 3rd party contacted FBI to share that Jane Doe, when 13–14 years old, allegedly “bit Trump while performing oral sex” & then he “hit [her] in the face after she laughed.”

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.
